Thanks! No need to be jealous. I've been dreaming of owning a mustang since I was in my mommas womb.
I just had to save my money and buy one.

Did you go up Arkansas Highway 7 from Camden to Arkadelphia? I would have also had to take a couple of runs up Music Mountain. I used to like the run both of those roads back in the day. Their both nice and crooked.
I wore a set of tires completely out on Music mountain back in my younger days:santa:

Just so you know all GT' come from the factory with a true dual setup. Also watch that tranny, I had to replace the syncros and forks for 2nd & 3rd two times. Other than that you should be able to beat the wee out of it and it just keeps going. If your anything like me you'll be replacing tires often. Nothing like some 360's in a parking lot, kicking it sideways when pulling out infront of traffic (other drives love that or get very very very scared) and drifting around some twistys. Have fun, cant see the pics at work put I know she has to be sexy from your description.

Thanks Raptor! Their will be some sort of boost being fed into this motor eventually. I'm more of a turbo fan so i'm sure i'll go in that direction.

I'm not very hard on a vehicle but it's fun launching this sucker from a dead stop. It's an adrenaline rush. I'm getting great at my shift points also. The shift light just makes things so much easier just floor it and shift when you see the light come on. You never have to take your eye's off the road. I'm amazed at how well this car hooks up I left work earlier and and just had to get into the throttle. I didn't heat the tires at all and the road is fairly cold. Dumping the clutch at around 2,500 rpm's she only spun about 10 foot and hooked up and hauled azz. 0-130 came in a blink of the eye. I didn't make any mistakes in my shifting.
I can't wait for the drag strip to open this spring.

Thanks for the compliments and info. I'm sure these tires won't be lasting very long. I'm not very hard on a vehicle but it's fun launching this sucker from a dead stop. It's an adrenaline rush.

Well I found out today that the Xcal2 programmer that came with this car has been custom tuned. I didn't have any luck contacting the previous owner but does anyone know how I can find out what tuner tuned this car? The only tune available is a 93 Octane performance tune. I really need to find out the extense of the mod's done to this thing in case something ever breaks I won't be replacing it with a stock part. I've never driven a stock GT before so it's hard to say just how fast this thing is but if a stock one run's nearly this fast then i've really been underestimating these car's over the years. I know they aren't slow but this thing litterally get's to 130mph in the blink of an eye. I know the speedometer isn't fooling me cause I've compared it to my GPS and it reads 1mph slower than the gps. The g-forces also pin you to the seat hard. I'm in love with this thing!
